Corrie Mckeague Latest
Police failed to search the waste site near to where he was last seen because they said the bin lorry payload was only 15 kilograms (33 lb).
I always thought that was a mistake. Why would a bin lorry make a 26 mile round trip if it was empty?
Now, 6 months later, the Police now say it wasn't empty after all.
Has this investigation been a farce from the start?

Ummmm, //I would have thought the police would have investigated the trucks records instead of taking their word for it. //
What do you mean? What more could they have done. According to one report the signal from the phone stopped at around the time the lorry reached the Barton Mills area possibly when it picked up more rubbish. The lorry was immediately impounded, but no forensic clues were found. Additionally the Company gave the police an inaccurate figure.
Yes, I do have confidence that the police do the best job they can in these circumstances.

I understand the bin lorry was seized very early on in the search. If the Police had listened to his Mum, and gone ahead with a search of the landfill site there and then, which would have been much easier in those early days, its possible that the lad would have been found alive.
I suspect it was a case of "we know best" on behalf of the Police.

Naif I am....
when I told the police in another case that my drug dealing tenant had thank god moved on to other places, a neighbour ( we gossip a lot) said yeah they came around and asked us if it were true.
( and I said you are one of his personal frenz arent you ? but that of course is another story).
falsifying a written record is something I try not to do

Police 'confident' missing Corrie Mckeague at landfill site

Viewing this link is hard. His Mum is being about as diplomatic as she can possibly be, given the Police's ineptitude.
Lets hope they find his remains quickly.

I posted this link on the original question yesterday.

Another blunder the bin lorry had over a 100 Kg of not just 11Kg as first stated!

If we look at the original story it makes more sense. Mckeague was tracked on CCTV and after leaving the last bar he was seen to lie down and sleep in a shop doorway before waking up and wandering off again. He was last recorded on CCTV going into the bin storage area behind Greggs bakery.
It has been proved impossible to leave the bin storage area on foot without being seen on CCTV. I think it is close to certain he decided to have another nap in a waste skip but the skip was collected while he was still in it. His phone signal was tracked following the same route the bin lorry would have taken to get from Bury St Edmunds town center to the Milton landfill site. I am sure he was in the bin lorry and alive until he either lost consciousness or was smothered by the waste in the lorry.
Incidentally if you watch the Cambridge News link I posted at the end the next video up is a view of the Milton landfill site, before and after the search started. In looks like an open cast mine now where it looked like a field before!

Eddie....it was obvious many months ago, that what you have said was what happened. The Police didn't do a good enough job in following this obvious solution too his disappearance.
There are some on here ( not many ! ) that are supporting the Police in their naivity and incompetence. If it was obvious that Corrie's phone signal was headed to Milton, then the site should have been searched immediately.
Instead the Police decided to be sidetracked by what has now proven to be false information. They should have looked into things with a bit more scepticism.
I predict that when his remains are found, as the Police now say is inevitable, then there will one unholy row about whether they could have acted quicker and found him alive.

ummmm, of course - and they have been investigating - continually - but if they're given the wrong information about company records they can hardly be held responsible for failing to spot the error. They can only go on what they have. I really don't think they'd have pursued other avenues if they thought they'd missed something. It seems to me they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.
